Illustrated by
Rose Cowles.
Six fractured fairy tails, er--tales, are retold from a dog's perspective. The familiar stories, injected with an offbeat, sometimes off-putting, sense of humor, include "Little Red Riding Hound" and "The Doberman's New Clothes." Two hip, wiseacre cats, who think their exclusion from the stories is a "cons-purr-acy," keep up a running commentary on the action. The colorful illustrations reveal a cast of costumed canines.
